    Dear Colleagues,

    The CUNY Graduate Center is delighted to announce two new Master’s programs
    that we hope will be of interest to you, your students, and your
    colleagues. Please help us spread the news and encourage anyone interested
    to get in touch.

    The *M.A. in Digital Humanities* program ( http://www.gc.cuny.edu/dh )
    provides students with both the practical skills and the humanistic
    knowledge needed to work on digital humanities-related projects in
    universities, libraries, museums, and the non-profit sector. We offer three
    areas of study: textual analysis, data visualization and mapping, and
    digital pedagogy. In our program, students learn to think critically about
    digital platforms as they begin to use them. Our students gain programming
    skills in the context of their digital projects, with the support of a
    large community of fellow practitioners behind them. The program includes
    an optional internship course that offers valuable experience in applying
    DH skills in a professional context. Throughout their coursework, both
    within the program and through their elective courses taken throughout the
    Graduate Center’s rich offerings, students balance critical study of
    technology with substantive study of humanities subjects. Learn more:

    The *M.S. in Data Analysis and Visualization* program (
    http://www.gc.cuny.edu/datavis ) allows students to better understand how
    data operates in society and how it can be curated and presented. We offer
    three areas of study: data analysis, data visualization, and data studies.
    Across all of these classes, we move from fundamental concepts and methods
    to more advanced methods. We focus on analyzing real-world datasets and
    creating effective and engaging visualizations. Coursework will help
    students understand longer historical trends that drive the adoption of
    computers, networks, and data analysis in a society, and this will help
    them to anticipate future trends. Graduates will be able to work in the
    industry (data analysis, data and information visualization) or to pursue
    doctoral studies in a range of related disciplines. Learn more:

    The application deadline for the Fall 2018 semester is April 15, 2018.
    Again, I would be happy to answer any questions about these programs. Thank
    you for sharing news of them with anyone you think might be interested.

    Best,

    Matt
